Math for Toddlers

It's too early to teach abstract symbols. So, for example, we present 10+8=18 this way:

Reading

We say a word and show it on screen for one second. Then on to the next, so your toddler stays engaged.

Entertaining Videos

We add fun, too. First, a math lesson. Then a squirrel chase, a reading lesson, then birds goofing off.

Why Enthralla Works

The Younger the Child, the Easier the Learning

People can learn things much faster and deeper at a very early age than they can later. For example, we all learn a foreign (to us) language by age 2, and are able to speak it perfectly without an accent. Try to learn a foreign language now and speak it with no accent. You can't. But you could before age 2!

Match Their Learning Speed and Attention Span

Enthralla taps into this amazing early ability to learn by presenting math and reading in very short lessons tailored to a toddler's attention span. We teach reading by showing words while pronouncing them. This method does not work well in older children, but before age 2 it's readily absorbed.

Simple, Direct Math

Math is taught by showing groups of dots while voicing a simple equation. For example, say 2X3=6 while displaying 2 dots, then 3 dots, then 6 dots. It's not easy to teach a toddler the meanings of abstract symbols. You would have a hard time teaching toddlers the meanings of the symbols "2" and "7", for example. You'd have an even harder time explaining how the symbols combine to make the number "27". But you can show them a group of 27 dots and they can instantly see what it means.

A Special Ability That Disappears Soon

And, yes, at that age they can learn to see large groups of dots and immediately know how many there are. They can tell the difference between a group of 100 dots and a group of 99 dots in a fraction of a second.

Meet The Founder

I taught my son reading and math when he was a baby. Later, in high school, he got the highest score in the United States in the 2010 Academic Decathlon (small school category).

I’d like to share this teaching method with you, so your baby can go on to excel in school too.

When my kids were toddlers, I taught them reading and math with paper cards which I’d show them by hand. (That was long before there were smartphones.) I still have those old reading and math cards. Here's me holding one.

My kids went on to excel in school. I still have a couple of the reports from the California statewide tests my daughter took in elementary school.

You can see how she scored 99th percentile in math and also in language in 5th grade.

Her score dropped a tiny bit in 6th grade, but was still spectacular. It’s very rare for a kid to get the highest possible score on both components. Usually kids who score at the top in math do less well in language, and vice versa.

My son entered the Academic Decathlon in high school. With just a few hundred students, his school fit into the small school category. In the small school competition, he got the highest score in the United States in 2010.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Enthralla.
Isn't it wrong to push kids to learn reading and math at such a young age?
Shouldn't they just be enjoying life?
Watch your child closely. You will notice that toddlers do not play. They investigate! That's why they drive you nuts by tearing up everything within reach, and tasting everything that will fit into their mouths. All they want to do, all day and every day, is learn stuff. So, if you give them something to learn, that will be enjoyable for them. The only way to make it not enjoyable is if you bore them by presenting material too slowly or repetitively. We keep our lessons from being boring by making them very short, and also by putting entertaining videos between lessons.
At what age should we start the lessons?
We recommend you start when your child is between 6 months and 2 years old. After age 2, children begin to lose the ability to learn this way.
My kid is already older than 2. Should I use Enthralla anyway?
It seems unlikely to do any harm. The reading lessons have a decent chance of being effective up to age 4. But studies have shown that this method of learning to read works poorly for 5-year-olds or older. The math lessons will lose their effectiveness much sooner, but your kid might get some benefit even past age 3.
Experts recommend that children have little or no screen time. Shouldn’t we avoid giving them lessons on video?
Enthralla’s lessons involve less than two minutes of screen time per day. Your child will be a good reader and a math whiz after a couple of years of these lessons. This sets your child up for a lifetime of better achievements in both school and career. When you compare this benefit with the cost, 2 minutes per day of screen time, we think the cost/benefit ratio is steeply tilted toward “benefit”. If you disagree, we recommend that you obtain and read the books How to Teach Your Baby to Read and How to Teach Your Baby Math, both by Glenn Doman. These books describe how to do similar lessons, but using words or dots on handheld pieces of cardboard. We think you will find our done-for-you lessons on video are easier and more effective, but it’s certainly your choice!
Can multiple children use one account?
Sure. You can play lessons more than once, so you could show them to different children.
Is there any inappropriate content or external links?
No external links, and we try very hard to keep the content appropriate. We avoid anything remotely related to politics, religion or sexuality. But, we should mention that conservative Muslims may find the entertainment portions of our videos inappropriate. These videos sometimes feature children playing in water or on beaches, dressed to U.S. norms for beach attire. We hope to create a series where we remove any pictures showing skin or hair, so Muslims can benefit from our lessons, but we aren’t there yet. We hope to have it available in 2027, so please check back.
